" Cross added: "I am very proud to be Chef de Mission for the third time and leading the team for Glasgow. "It has been an unsettling time for all athletes following the withdrawal of Victoria as hosts, and we are very grateful to Glasgow for stepping in to host the Games this summer.
"It will be a different Games across four great venues, but our planning is well advanced and we're confident that it will be an amazing event for all involved. "
